Its really hard to say because my car was parked for a long time, and during that time I swapped to the KR22s. I don't think they're as good as my old 155/80/R13 BALD tires I had on the car. I'm not sure what brand/model they were, just some cheapo tires I got from where ever. However, they're definitely better than the Fuzion HRI tires I had on just the front of the Paseo shortly before parking it for a while (wore through the 155/80/R13s). The handling with the 175/70/R13 is much better than the 155 tires and I like that. Unfortunately for me, they were the only LRR tires I could get for 13" wheels that kept the same diameter. So, I am happy to have a LRR tire, but I don't think they're all that amazing. My Ecopias seem to roll better, but that is also in a car that is 900 lbs heavier so a grain of salt and all that...
